The 40-year-old actor lent Rodas his identical Ford Mustang Boss 302S, which he had only recently bought, so he could still compete in the event which was sponsored by Walker's Reach Out Worldwide charity.

When asked why he agreed to let Rodas drive his new Boss 302, the actor said at the time: “Reach Out is about helping people when they need it the most. This is Roger’s first Pirelli World Challenge race… how could I say no?”.
